Star Pelaw Greyhound Tips – Tuesday, 16 June 2026
Star Pelaw hosts ten races on Tuesday evening, kicking off at 18:11 at the compact Pelaw Grange circuit in Chester-le-Street. The card runs through to 20:52 with all races at the standard 435m trip on sand, offering consistent conditions for punters to track form and trap bias patterns.
18:11 – Grade A2 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baby Cupcakes | 3y B | S Atkinson | 315 |
| 2 | Dromana Fergie | 2y D | D Bell | 244 |
| 3 | Solid Zephyr | 1y B | F Kearney | 33 |
| 5 | Drish Solar | 3y D | S Miller | No form |
| 6 | Glenbervie Wolf | 2y D | M J Watson | No form |
Baby Cupcakes has dominated trap 1 at this track in recent weeks and comes here with excellent recent credentials. The three-year-old bitch won at A3 grade on 7 June and finished second at A2 level four days prior, showing consistent class. She’s shown two wins in her last three outings and has benefited from the rails draw, which boasts a 36 per cent strike rate over the past 21 days at this distance. Her form string reads 11241, indicating she’s in sharp form, and her quick releases (QAw) and clear running style suit this track layout. With Dromana Fergie also capable from trap 2 but showing mixed recent returns, and the younger Solid Zephyr offering limited data at just one year old, Baby Cupcakes represents genuine value from the strongest draw. NAP: Baby Cupcakes, Trap 1.
18:29 – Grade A3 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Knackstar | 3y B | S Miller | 431 |
| 2 | Glengiblin Frank | 3y D | R McCarthy | 212 |
| 3 | Hawkfield Lexi | 2y B | G Foot | 355 |
| 4 | Loxleys Rex | 3y D | S Miller | No form |
| 5 | Hams Twin Turbo | 1y B | G Foot | No form |
| 6 | Cream Biscuit | 3y D | R McCarthy | No form |
Glengiblin Frank has been Star Pelaw’s form greyhound in this grade, winning two of his last five starts and never finishing outside the frame over the same period. His last two runs show a narrow defeat followed by a decisive victory, establishing him as the pace-setter at A3 level. From trap 2, he enjoys the rails-mid option and has consistently led from early positions (Ld1, ALd patterns in recent runs). His running style suits the track perfectly, and his split recent form line (12321) suggests he’s holding peak condition. Knackstar from trap 1 has shown explosive starts but inconstistency in recent weeks, while Hawkfield Lexi has struggled to replicate form outside the track after a difficult month away. NAP: Glengiblin Frank, Trap 2.
19:24 – Grade A3 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Abbeyside Enda | 2y B | D Bell | 44-1 |
| 2 | Caseys Jake | 4y D | S Atkinson | 223 |
| 3 | Aremanwhy | 2y D | G Foot | 651 |
| 4 | Funky Noodle | 2y D | G Foot | No form |
| 6 | Baby Move | 2y B | R McCarthy | No form |
Caseys Jake is the standout here with four runs in his last five producing three places and a win, all at A3 grade at Star Pelaw. The four-year-old dog’s form reads 12321, signalling consistency and reliability at this exact level. He won decisively on 29 May by five lengths from trap 2 with a clear lead from halfway, and his last two runs both produced second-place finishes, indicating he remains in form. His rails-mid approach and handy positioning suit this trip, and at 435m he has enough scope to settle into a rhythm. Abbeyside Enda shows a disqualification and inconsistent returns lately, while Aremanwhy has flashed potential but carries recent sixth-place baggage from trap 4. NAP: Caseys Jake, Trap 2.
19:42 – Grade A4 435m
| Trap | Dog | Age | Trainer | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hexel Mason | 3y B | R McCarthy | 433 |
| 2 | Marlfield Enya | 2y B | S Miller | 143 |
| 3 | Statsman | 1y D | D Bell | 14 |
| 4 | Glenbowen Mabel | 2y B | M J Watson | No form |
| 5 | Keefill Darwin | 2y D | G Foot | No form |
| 6 | Haywards Ava | 3y B | R McCarthy | No form |
Marlfield Enya broke through with a head-winning victory last time out on 9 June at this exact grade and distance from trap 2, showing enough pace to edge out a tight field. The two-year-old bitch has been knocking on the door with consistent performances and has landed a key breakthrough win. Her form line (14352) shows improving trajectory, and her recent outing delivered the crucial 1 finish needed to build confidence. Despite some earlier reversals at A4, her quick away (QAw) and rails-mid running pattern suggest she has found her level and can capitalise on momentum. Hexel Mason has struggled for consistency despite a win on 19 May, and newer face Statsman carries limited UK data from sprint-grade racing. NAP: Marlfield Enya, Trap 2.
Meeting Overview
The full ten-race card at Star Pelaw on Tuesday runs exclusively at 435m on sand across grades A2 through A4, with the feature A2 contest offering competitive racing early and A3/A4 graded races building toward the evening finale at 20:52. All races are flat, with no hurdle or staying distances in the schedule. The consistency of distance and surface makes this a solid night for punters tracking trap bias and form progression.
Punters’ Note
Check the SP roughly 15 minutes before each race when the market firms. Betfair, Bet365, SkyBet and William Hill all offer strong greyhound racing coverage with competitive odds on the evening card. Forecast markets (predicting first and second in order) are popular outlets for UK greyhound punters; with six-runner fields standard at Star Pelaw, each-way betting is rarely offered. The trap 1 bias at 36 per cent strike rate this month is significant, so favour dogs drawn on the rails when form is otherwise matched.
